Belvedere Infant School

Children in Reception access the seven areas of learning through a wide range of adult and child led activities. Children are encouraged to use their senses to explore the world around them, learn through their play and develop their speech, language and communication skills in our language rich environment. 

Teachers set up the classrooms with a range of exciting and engaging activities that are practical and multi-sensory. Activities are linked to the half termly topic or the key text for the week. Children have a wide range of resources in the classrooms that they can access freely to support their independent learning activities. Activities are set up to provide children with opportunities to practise their speaking and listening skills and encourage them to practise reading and writing throughout the day. 

This half term we will be learning all about traditional tales. We will be using a range of wonderful multicultural tales from around the world to support our teaching and learning in this topic. Below you will find images of some of the stories that we will be sharing with the children. 

We are very proud of all of our children and families for their hardwork, cooperation and participation in their remote learning. Children have been attending live learning sessions with their teachers via Zoom and Google Meet and have uploaded some wonderful work to their Google Classrooms and Class Dojo portfolios. Please have a look at just some of the fantastic work that has been submitted so far. 

Children have been working very hard during their live Phonics sessions and using ther sound knowledge to support their reading and writing at home. 

This week, children have been using some of the characters from our story, The Three Little Pigs, to learn about and practise using positional language.
